Method

Rinse the buckwheat¹, add 180 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 15–18 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed.
Dice the onion³ and slice the mushrooms.
Sauté the onion³ in 6 ml oil for 3 minutes, add the mushrooms, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the moisture evaporates and they are lightly browned.
Fry the egg in the remaining oil for 3–4 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk stays soft.
Mix the yogurt with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the chopped green⁵ onion³.
Place the buckwheat¹ in a bowl as the base, arrange the mushrooms with onion³ and the egg in sections, drizzle with yogurt, and sprinkle with green⁵ onion.

Tips

Why it works: Don't cook the buckwheat longer than 18 minutes. It will turn mushy instead of fluffy. If you overcooked it, add 10 ml water and bring to a boil.
Substitutions: Swap the yogurt for 45 g sour cream. It will be thicker but richer. You can replace the mushrooms with 180 g boiled porcini, but they will be less aromatic.
Common mistakes: If you overfry the egg, the yolk turns hard and dry. Check after 3 minutes, when the white has just set.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute with the plate covered. Add the yogurt just before eating.
Serve with: Serve with a slice of rye bread or as a standalone lunch after work.
